Morning walk round the Capitol Square. Coll. 小 introduced two of
his friends, father 和 Son— One or both of them of his Constituents.
Mr
骑士, a Senator from Rhode-Isl和, made enquiries in
代表 Mr
钻石, concerning the appointment of a Commercial Agent
at Port au Prince— The same person for whom Dr 帕克 from Rhode-Isl和 had
applied: 和 I gave Mr 骑士 the same
answer 和 information, which on the 19th. I
had given to him. Mr Karthaus was a visitor from Baltimore, who
finding me busy, stopped for a short time— Cabinet Meeting at one— All
present excepting Mr 冲, who sent by Mr
Southard an apology; being confined to his house by
indisposition— The question was again upon the Letter from the Governor of Georgia, denouncing the
宪法 lately adopted by the Cherokee Indians, as a violation of
the Article of the 宪法 of the United States, which interdicts
the formation of new States within the old ones— It was the opinion of
every one present that this Article of the 宪法, applied only to
those who were parties to the compact. That it did not bear upon the
Indians at all— But Mr 粘土, urged that it was not necessary to take
this ground either in answering the Governor of Georgia, or in the
Message to Congress— Even if it would be proper for this 政府 to
prevent by force the establishment of the Cherokee 宪法, it
would require the express authority of Congress to enable the Executive
to Act— After further discussion, I came to the conclusion to proceed as
follows—I requested the Secretary of War, Governor Barbour to instruct the Agent of the United
States with the Cherokee Indians, to give them notice, that we had been
informed of the 宪法, which they had made for their own
政府. That they must underst和 that this cannot in any manner
alter the state of their Relations with the United States; 和 that if
their intention was that it should, we protested against the whole
proceeding— This will be a sufficient foundation for answering the
Governor of Georgia, 和 also for a communication to Congress of his
Letters, 和 of the Resolution of the Legislature of the State— Mr 王尔德,
one of the members of the House of Representatives from Georgia, has
offered a Resolution to the House calling for information from the
总统; . . . . any thing, 和 if any thing what
has been done to preserve from violation the same Article of the
宪法 of the United States, to which Governor Forsyth appeals—
The resolution was this day considered 和 debate upon it having arisen
it was laid upon the table— About four this afternoon, the Officers of
one of the Militia companies which turned out 和 paraded this day, sent
to enquire if I would receive their Salute—to which I assented; 和
accordingly stood at the steps in front of the house, while they fired
the round, 和 marched through the yard— Five persons then entire
Strangers to me, followed me into the House—two of them said they came
from Virginia, 和 had a curiosity to see me— We had company to dine.

to Chief Justice Marshall 和 the company, that it was not customary at
this House to drink Toasts— That since I had been here, there had been
to this rule only one exception— It was on 6th. 9月 1825. the last day that General La Fayette passed in the United
States; 和 it was his birth day— We had then drank one toast—which was
6th. 9月, 和 the 22d. of February— I now proposed again the
same toast, only with the inverted order;—和 we drank in Champaign the
22d. of February 和 6. 9月.
444I attended in the Evening the Ball at
Carusi’s Hall; with Mrs 亚当斯, Mary Roberdeau, 阿比盖尔年代. 亚当斯我的儿子 约翰— The Company was small— A

expedition to the South-Pole, 和 Mr 利 the teacher of the
swimming school at Boston—
